Guyver II Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 04 Review

Written by Jax. Pics courtesy of Donnay

Guyver II comes in the same packaging as the previous Guyver Figures in the Max Factory BFC line. I like this packaging alot because it makes the toy appear more high end.

All accessories can be seen from through the clear window of the packaging.

Guyver II and I are the two Guyver Figures that come with the Unactivated G-Units.

As usual, Guyver II comes with interchangable ultra high frequency blades and interchangable fists, grab (for holding the megasmasher open) and a New part that looks something like a claw. This is different from Guyvers I and III which come with the open palm.

Other then that, it comes with the display stand which is included in all Guyver Action Figures in this Max Factory BFC series.

The paint job is perfect in the Max Factory Guyver Series. Even in small areas on the face the paint job is perfect, flawless.

Eyes come with a certain reflective paint so under certain angles of lighting they seem to be glowing slightly.
The Guyver II action figure is one of my favourite in this toy line. I like the fact that it is made to scale so if you line up Guyvers I II and III you will find that Guyver II is the tallest of the three.

This gives the whole Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection Line more anime accuracy and more variations. Its not one of those toy lines where moulds are recycled for similar figures. Every toy figure in this line is unique.

I love the design of Guyver II's face. He is the only Guyver that has an asymetrical face with two air vents on the right and two sonic orbs on the left.

Perhaps it's a hint by the author that because his control metal is damaged, it gives it a twisted and deformed element in the arrangement of features on his face.

Even the dent on the control metal on his forehead is replicated on this action figure if you take a close look. Talk about attention to details and manga accuracy.

The ultra high frequency blades on Guyver II are different from that of Guyver I, even though they both only have one blade.

Guyver I's blades are almost straight while Guyver II's are curved. It's little details like these that makes every Guyver unique in the anime and all these are captured and replicated in the toy figures.
Guyver II is very poseable, as is the norm in this toy series. Intelligently placed points of articulation allows you to re-enact battle scenes straight from the manga and anime. You would think that with so many points of articulation the action figure will be one ugly fellow but no. All joints are carefully hidden and don't bother you visually at all.

Guyver II can still be found on Amazon most of the time. I have personally sold him for 60 pounds shipped before but that was in 2001. Prices have gone up since then due to the rarity of this series and the high quality of the figures. Most people think only to get the Guyvers I and III because they thought they only needed the good guys. But after awhile they may realise that they need a worthy adversary to go along and then start looking for Guyver II.

Toy Review: Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Piccolo Dragonball Z Action Figure

The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is a fantastic figure at a fantastic price. First released in Novemeber 2009, this figure had a recommended retail price of USD$45. Surprisingly, this beautiful  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   and can still be found on  Amazon.com   at a very reasonably $35 dollars at the point of writing. Looking closely at the  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure , you can tell that Bandai did a fantastic job and they really captured the feel of Piccolo very well. The figure itself stands at around 170mm and comes with many accessories that you can mix and match, making it a very fun figure to have. He comes with interchangeable hands, face and his iconic costume with turban and cape.  Also, I think Piccolo looks very nice with folded arms which is also included. The  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   is very articulated and the joints are smooth, making posing easy.  A small regret is that the  S.H Fig...

Bandai Tamashii Nations - SH Figuarts DBZ Majin Buu Figure Review

Introduction - SH Figuarts Majin Buu Figure Review   "Buu turn you into candy and eat you!"  The Majin Buu is the final villain in the Dragon Ball Z Manga. Honestly, I did not like the Dragon Ball Z Majin Buu Saga when I read the manga as a kid. I felt that the author should have ended the manga after the Cell Arc. All the different forms of the Majin Buu such as Kid Buu, Super Buu (Evil Buu) , Innocent Buu (Fat Buu or Zen Buu) as well as the other intermediate forms as Buu absorbed other characters really got me thinking that the author was   running out of ideas. Nevertheless, the character design is pretty unique and the SH Figuarts Majin Buu (Fat Buu or Zen version) captured this very well.  Packaging I knew that the SH Figuarts Majin Buu was going to be a big figure but when I received the actual figure, I was pleasantly surprised that it was HUGE . The box itself is much larger than the SH Figuarts DBZ Nappa figure. ...

Zoaloard Gyuot/Guyot Action Figure with Unito Remover - Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 07 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Zoalord Gyout has been changed and replaced with what you see here. A blue paper box with the plastic casing housed inside.. I personally do not like the packaging because it apppears more low end and it breaks the continuity from the previous  Guyver Figures . But as soon as I opened the box and held the Gyuot figure in my hands, I fell in love with him immediately. The eyes are painted with orange reflective paint so that it glows under certain lighting. The Zoa Crystal and the gravitation orbs are made of a certain translucent material that seems to glow even though you know that they are not really glowing. I was elated to see that Gyuot had tons of accessories. The  Zoalord Gyout  comes with chest armour plates which you can attach on by removing Gyuot's head and wearing it over his shoulders. He also comes with armour for the shoulders, wrists, knees and legs. It gives him a really majestic lo...
